On 25th Aug 2007, jason, qijun and I were making our way to the ferry terminal, we met with an car accident, an extrem car accident that involved mud! I am so sure that this is the FIRST accident in Singapore that a car got smashed by a pool of mud!
A monster truck filled with mud was behind my M5 and when I stepped on the brake the monster truck jammed brake and guessed what! All the mud in his truck flew towards the front and hit my rear windscreen, the mud flew into the car and hit the 3 of us. I can confirmed that he overload his truck and he was travelling at a pretty fast speed
At that very moment, I saw the mud flew in from the rear mirror, jason had just end his call and was about to keep his phone. jason was at the centre row, he got most of of the mud! I am very gald that everyone is okay and there were no injuries. At that moment I was worried that the other 2 guys will get hurt.
I wasnt as panic as before, I got out of my driver seat and went to settle the matters with the monster truck driver. The whole road was jammed, all the way till the expressway! I was so calm and cool that I was stopping all the moving vehicles when I tried to cross the road
A traffic police was on patrol and he saw the accident, got our details and he went to direct the traffic before any motorbike cyclist got into any accident again. Before my tow truck was here, a very irrating taxi driver cum workshop employee was trying to get the deal and want me to go to his workshop! I really thank for his help but I dont need him!
jason and I followed the tow truck back to the workshop for adminstrative work while qijun made his way to bintan. Before we leave we saw the fire engine, we thought they are off to another accident scene but who knows they are here to wash the mud off the road!
Trying to be optimistic, jason and I were joking in the tow truck, trying to entertain the driver! He was very supportive, he entertained us too and it was his 1st time towing a car covered with mud. We made our grand entrance into the industrial area too!
Took out our bags and they were covered with mud and my white Subaru bear has become brown colour! Settle the papers, washed up and we make our way home to repack our bags for the bintan trip!
Lets keep the adminstrative details aside! Here are the pictures of the accident!
Bintan trip!
It was fun and yet a useful trip and learnt many things from the session. Hope whatever discussed will aid the organisation in future.
